An man was working in a gold mine when the tunnel collapsed and
he was trapped in the rubble. Rescuers had to cut off his leg to
get him out. When his friend came to visit him in the hospital
the miner was upset that he would never be able to have a
family. His friend said "I thought ti was just your leg that was
lost". "It was" said the miner " but who would be interested in a
one legged gold digger"

His friend replied "Try Paul McCartney"

Chile is in South America.

Chilli, or even chili, are what's hot and spicy.

Anyhow, the English "chile" is an attempt to transliterate a Nahuatl
noun, and it passed through Spanish at least on its way to English.
Not to mention the Aztecs wrote in heiroglyphs and had no phonetic
alphabet in the sense of the one I'm typing right now.

Or how about a black sheep ale.

Mars bars don't contains bits of rock. All it would take is a
secondary desription - pork sausages ..... the Welsh Dragon would be a
Trading name.

Someone just needs to stand up to the officials - they should read
their own advice rather than take things so litterally.

Only to Brits or other Commonwealth types. Chile is the correct Spanish
spelling of a Native word that is the hot and spicy fruit of a plant and
is commonly used for what you call a chilli or chili (which means a meat
dish cooked with hot and spicy chiles) in the Southwestern US and other
parts of North America.

Seeing as we are not speaking Spanish, I'll go for the English version.

This is the bit I found especially disturbing:
<quoting>
A Powys County Council spokesman said: “The product was not
sufficiently precise to inform a purchaser of the true nature of the
food.”
</quoting>

I thought it was only here in Oz that the socialists were so intent
on making decisions for everybody! Whatever happened to the idea that
people can think for themselves?

Cheers, Phred.
